Bride to Be...Someday

I pulled out my wedding dress last week and let Hannah try it on.

Going Private

Jake and I are moving to Indiana in two weeks (for an MBA at Purdue) and I keep promising people I will update my blog while we are gone. So I am making it private and hopefully that will make me more comfortable updating it.

If you want to keep looking at my blog just leave a comment with your email. Add http://jakenielsonfamilyfeed.blogspot.com/ to your google reader and I will update it when I update our official blog.

Here are a few random pictures of the kiddos.

Eli Chase Nielson

This is for anyone still out there checking our blog...Eli Chase Nielson was born Jan 3rd at 10:32 pm. He was 8 lbs 6 oz and 21 inches. I was lucky enough to deliver almost 3 weeks early! Hannah has been so good with him so far. We love the new addition to our family!

Its A Boy!

Hannah has been adamant that we are having a girl, so I was surprised to find out that its a boy! I really expected a girl...I have a few dresses to return. We are due January 20th and couldn't be more excited!

Long Overdue Update

We have been busy!  (Not so busy that I couldn't blog...I am just lazy about blogging)  

In March, we had a fun trip to Zions with Platinum.  We had a great time and got to do lots of things like climb the rock wall, ride mini ATVs, ride horses, and ride the zip line.  Hannah was so brave and after she saw me (attempt) to rock climb she had to 

try herself.  She did pretty good! 

Hannah loved finding Easter eggs of course!  We had a little egg hunt at 

Miriam's house and when Hannah walked in and saw all the eggs that we were going to hide she was so excited and said, "It's

 my birthday!"  

I know I don't have cutsie pictures of her in a Easter dress...for some reason I couldn't care less about getting a new dress on Easter.  I am not sure if that will surprise you or not.  

A couple weeks ago my sister-in-law, Jamie, graduated from BYU! KSL did a news story on her and her roommate, Jill.  You can read/watch it here.  Congrats Jamie and Jill! 

A couple weekends ago we went to Las Vegas for my Niece's wedding.  We are glad we got to spend so much time with them and their family over the past few weeks.

 

Last weekend, Hannah and I went to Pocatello for my sister's graduation.  No news story on her though ;) Congrats, Becky!

This is my brand new nephew James (my brother's second baby).  Isn't he adorable!  He was born on April 27th almost a month early and still weighed 7 lbs 11 oz!  I am taking a trip to see him in about a month and I am really excited!!  My brother is graduating from Med school this week too!  Its been so nice to have a doctor in the family!

 

Hannah and I are always having fun!  This is at Jumpin' Jacks by my house and the other is at the dino museam at Thanksgiving point.

Besides that I have been juggling American Idol and Biggest loser...our DVR can only record one at a time :(  I hope Kris wins AI and I hope Ron doesn't win Biggest Loser.  And that is it...you are caught up with our lives!

I Finally Saw It!

And....

I loved it!  My sisters came into town for the Draper Temple open house and stayed the weekend.  I am glad I finally saw it...especially since I probaly convinced you to read the books (or tried to convince you) but somehow ended up being the last mormon girl between the ages of 15-35 to see the it!  Anyway, I can't wait for the next one.

AND...there is a really cool feature I added to my blog.  If you look on my blog you can read the comments without clicking on ANYTHING.  My brother-in-law set it up and its called roll-over comments).  Its so nice AND it is so easy add to your blog (it is seriously like two clicks and DONE).   You can see the link to blogger hints over there on the right side.  Good luck...and I hope to see you guys with roll over comments too! 

Valentines and Hannah's First Song

Jake told me today that he needed to make a quick run to 'Home Depot.'  I suggested that he take Hannah because she loves spending time with her Daddy.  When they got back, I said hi to Hannah and she said, "Mommy, I go Walmart."  I said, "Oh really?" And then she explained it all, "Get flowers give Mommy.  And treats too!"  Jake just gave me a sheepish grin and shook his head.  Then I got my flowers and treats.
